Does what folks do in a water or wastewater lab seem like a bit of a mystery to you? Here is your chance to get some of the details with a program that includes hands-on experience in a NJDEP certified testing laboratory. The morning session of the program will present regulatory and sampling information. In the afternoon, attendees will participate in sampling and analysis exercises (including field sampling). Attendees should feel free to bring their own – you never know what you will find! A great opportunity to broaden your operational knowledge with HANDS ON EXPERIENCE!

Optimum filter performance is a requirement of optimum operation. This one-day workshop for engineers and operators presents a broad overview of all aspects of granular media and gravity filtration. Topics will include: Design and rehabilitation of new and existing granular media and gravity filters; Media selection and design for particle removal; Different types of filter operation, instrumentation and control andMaintenance/troubleshooting procedures.

Advanced Petroleum Forensics Geochemistry

8:30am-4:45pm

Rutgers Eco Complex

1200 Florence-Columbus Rd, Bordentown, NJ 08505

This course will appeal to LSRPs and other environmental professionals who regularly deal with oil impacted sites and wish to learn more about the latest in advanced forensics techniques for petroleum releases of gasoline and distillates. Since a majority of our sites are petroleum and many are old and comingled, this course is particularly relevant to practicing LSRPs. In-class examples and exercises related to on-site assessment and remediation issues/concerns that may be encountered by practicing LSRPs will be included. Command of environmental chemistry, which includes an understanding of gas chromatography and combined gas chromatography/mass spectrometry, is strongly recommended.

Regulatory Training in Underground Storage Tanks

8:30am-4:30pm

Cook Student Center

59 Biel Rd, New Brunswick, NJ 08901

Whether you are becoming certified for the first time or just need to recertify, you will get the regulatory information you need to stay current with New Jersey's UST requirements and help your clients or employer avoid potential penalty liability. Please Note: The NJ Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) regulates Underground Storage Tanks (USTs) and requires the professionals who work on them to be trained, certified/recertified every three (3) years. When a person has notified the NJDEP of a discharge from an UST on or after November 4, 2009, that person must retain a LSRP when addressing regulated USTs. LSRPs may work on unregulated USTs (remediation or otherwise), but LSRPs are not required to be hired to remediate discharges from unregulated USTs. Certified Subsurface Evaluators may still be retained to remediate discharges from unregulated USTs without the supervision of a LSRP. The certifications for all other categories of UST services (i.e., installation, closure, tank testing, and corrosion protection) still require the refresher course. The person responsible for conducting the remediation of a discharge from an unregulated UST who uses a Certified Subsurface Evaluator to remediate that discharge is required to employ an individual working for a business firm certified in the category of UST subsurface evaluation pursuant to the UST rules at N.J.A.C. 7:14B-16.

Onsite Wastewater Disposal Systems (Septic Systems)

8:30am-3:45pm

Rutgers Eco Complex

1200 Florence-Columbus Rd, Bordentown, NJ 08505

The onsite treatment and disposal of wastewater (commonly referred to as "onsite systems" or "septic systems") can be a difficult and complicated matter. Advances in onsite technology have made the issues surrounding the design, construction and management of onsite systems more complex, but can provide appropriate and beneficial 4p alternatives to traditional designs. This course has been designed to present the information you need to know to get things done, make things work and ultimately help the environment! The Rutgers - NJAES Office of Continuing Professional Education has worked closely with the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) to gather together speakers and topics that will address the design, installation and maintenance of onsite systems. As part of our program, health officials, engineers, designers and installation personnel will present case studies of things that worked (and maybe a few that didn't). Come and learn from their experiences! More information: http://www.cpe.rutgers.edu/courses/current/ew0202ca.html
